EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art, the "Recumbent ibis". Crafted during the Late Period (715-332 BC), this solid cast bronze sculpture stands at a height of 14 cm. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship are evident in every curve and contour of this sacred bird. The recumbent posture of the ibis exudes an aura of tranquility and grace, inviting viewers to delve into its symbolic significance within Egyptian culture. Revered as a sacred creature, the ibis held great importance in ancient Egypt due to its association with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing. Its curved beak further emphasizes its divine connection. Through this photograph by eHeini Schneebeli, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the mastery achieved by Egyptian artisans centuries ago. The play between light and shadow on the bronze surface adds depth and dimensionality to this artwork's visual appeal. Displayed here is a private collection that has generously allowed Bridgeman Images to share this image with us all. It serves as a testament not only to their appreciation for fine art but also their commitment to preserving cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this stunning depiction of an ancient artifact, let us marvel at how it continues to captivate our imagination even after millennia have passed since its creation.
